I'm just gonna bend it back in place and then gusset it I suppose. Hey Evo, why don't you make a gusset for this part integrated in your c-gusset. Just drop me a royalty check every now and then !!

Funny...my driver side one is bent the opposite way...I'm just running disconnected until I figure out what I want to do with it...My jeep seems pretty stable on the street without the front so I may just run disconnected permanently.
I wouldn't bend it back though since it will indeed be weaker than before. Gussetting may work if you want to include that with the mallet method, but I wouldn't be happy knowing I have a weak bracket in my suspension system though.

I still haven't decided what to do. I'm moving to phoenix for 2 months tomorrow. I heard there was a creative dude that owned a shop in that part of the country, maybe I'll get him to fix it.
